New York has twenty-four districts, or nearly one-fifth of the

In all, there are one hundred and twenty-eight assembly
districts, each electing one member of the assembly.

Q. What must be done in those counties that are entitled to two or

number of members heretofore apportioned by the Legislature to
these several counties; the territory must be contiguous, and no
town can be divided in the formation of districts.

Q. By whom is the city and county of New York divided into
